Description

Alejandra Contreras-Manzano leads a team comparing sugary drink intake in Mexico and the United States around new food label rules, in a 2026 journal article. Mexico added front-of-pack warning labels in 2020, while the United States updated its Nutrition Facts labels the same year. The authors tracked whether the two countries then changed in different ways.

They used six yearly surveys from 2018 to 2023, with 24,574 adults in Mexico and 25,019 in the United States. Sugary drink use rose in both countries after 2020, but the rise was smaller in Mexico. Among people who still drank them, amounts, calories, and added sugar changed much the same in both places. Mexican women did show a larger drop in weekly volume.
